When it comes to summer corn, I'm all about eating it in as many delicious ways as possible. I cannot wait to try this Sweet Corn Gazpacho at Spoon Fork Bacon. With a big salad and crusty bread on the side, I cannot think of a more perfect summer meal.

 

My kids love taquitos, but I don't love frying them up. Enter Baked Chicken Taquitos at Two Peas & Their Pod -- which are made with store-bought rotisseries chicken, to boot! And the whole family wins dinner.

 

Could this Loaded Sesame Ginger Salmon Salad at What's Gaby Cooking be any more gorgeous? The good news is that it's all in the presentation, because making this healthy stunner is as simple as roasting salmon, making a dressing, and cutting up your favorite green veggies.

I'm super excited to try this recipe for Creamed Spinach Pasta with Sausage and Pine Nuts spied at Joy the Baker since it's from a new cookbook I've been eyeing, Back Pocket Pasta. Plus, a pasta dinner that comes together in 30 minutes with creamy ricotta and sausage? I'm so in.

 

If you haven't tried a Shake Shack burger, well, what are you waiting for?! High-brow, fast-food burgers are nearly a religion for me and -- I don't care what you say -- the Shack burger is the best of the best. And now I can eat them at home all summer long with this Copycat Shake Shack Burger recipe at A Cozy Kitchen. I am not sorry. Not one bit.
